According to the latest information, Turkey announced that it would not release two minehunters supplied by the United Kingdom to Ukraine. The move sparked a new round of controversy and tensions. After the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict in February last year, Turkey immediately closed the straits to the warring partiesA blockade was imposed. In order to protect its own interests and *** Turkey refused to release British aid ships, which caused a fierce reaction from the British side.
There is a far-reaching background and motivation for this incident. First, Turkey may be retaliating or warning against European countries. For a long time, there has been a lot of friction between Turkey and Greece over territorial issues, and NATO countries have repeatedly supported Greece's territorial sovereignty, and Turkey feels that it has been treated unfairly. This time, he refused to let go, which can be seen as Turkey's signal to European countries: non-cooperation and boycott attitude.
Secondly, Turkey may be using this opportunity to show goodwill to Russia. Despite the fact that Turkey defined the conflict between Ukraine and Russia as a war, closed the straits, but inThey can be flexible in the matter of assistance. Turkey can choose to let it go or block it. This time they chose to stop, presumably to show goodwill to Russia, to maintain energy deals and stability between the two sides.
The incident also caused a backlash in the UK. The British side believes that Turkey's actions betray Ukraine's interests. According to the existing regulations, Turkey has controlThe power to transit the Bosphorus and Dardanelles, but this situation does not include the current situation. Therefore, the British side said that Turkey's blocking behavior was unreasonable and a betrayal for Ukraine.
For the British, although they have other options, such as entering the Black Sea via the Rhine via the Danube, it will not be easy to get any of the countries along the route, especially Turkey, the most snobbish country. Therefore, the British side was very angry and disappointed.
Turkey's actions have sparked concern and reflection on its policies in Western countries.

Turkey's blocking of British aid to Ukrainian minehunters has sparked widespread concern and controversy. As an observer and thinker, I have some personal insights and reflections on this matter.
First of all, as a country, Turkey has the right to defend its own interests and ***. As I understand it, Turkey has always faced threats and challenges from all directions, especially from the problems and conflicts of its neighbors.
